DOW (S&P) Daily 7th Nov 2008 recap

"Expectation US markets are heading down into November's lows.

This was confirmed with Wednesday's break of the 5-day 50% levels, and then Thursday's break of the Weekly 50% level....

Friday:- 5-day 50% level resistance & Support as shown


Friday's support is valid :- This is because of the expectation that there needs to be a higher daily close and failure to close above the Weekly 50% level, sets up a higher daily and Weekly sell-off next week:- Weekly 50% level resistance"


Premium Report

DOW Daily and 5-day pattern


As I mentioned in Friday's morning report:- there was an expectation of an UP day in the US to re-test the Weekly 50% level.

Next Week's 50% level is simply going to define the trend for the next 5-day days.

Above and it's moving back towards the November 50% level (Weekly highs)

If US markets are going to continue down in November's low, then early next week should push down from the Weekly 50% level and continue down all week.

It's simply trading on the side of the 5-day levels next week.



SPI 7th November 2008 recap

Monthly 50% level reversal and down into November lows is taking place...

Today:- resistance 4062

4004 random support...Below 4004 and expectation price is moving down into 3938.

Above 4004 after 2.50pm and short-covering expectation towards the 50% level @ 4092"


Premium Report.



SPI Weekly and 5-day pattern 16:10pm

SPI opens below 4062 and test Resistance early sending the SPI down into 4004.

Once above 4004 after 2.50pm the expectation that any possible reversal was going to send price back into the 50% level @ 4092.

Weekly Report tomorrow

  • S&P (e-mini) 6th November 08 recap

    "US markets have reversed back down into Weekly 50% level support.

    The first sign of a continuation of a reversal down from the November 50% levels is a break of the Weekly 50% level.

    Continuation of the down trend on Thursday would see prices swing upwards into the 50% levels early on Thursday and then move down in the 5-day lows and could travel as far as support.

    This would result in a break of the Weekly 50% level, and the 2nd sign of a monthly 50% level reversal after yesterday's break of the 5-day 50% level"


    Premium Report


    S&P Weekly and 5-day pattern

    Wednesday broke support, but the ideal pattern on Thursday was to have a slight rise upwards into the 5-day 50% level and trade down into the lows.

    As pointed out in the report, a move down into support on Thursday, which ended up much further than expected on the day, but not in this Month.

    Expectation of a continuation down into November lows

  • SPI 6th November 2008 Daily Recap

    SPI 16:20

    Yesterday completed the reversal back into the November 50% levels, and the first sign of a reversal is a break of the 5-day 50% level.

    A bullish day would have bounced off 4208 and moved back above towards 4263 and higher.

    An unwinding pattern of any reversal is how price reacts to the 5-day 50% level, and that wasn't a good sign today.

    As long as the SPI remains above 4173 tomorrow then this weekly pattern will consolidate.

    Below 4173 tomorrow, and things are starting to unwind.

    At this stage price didn't react as if it was bullish, but doesn't mean it can't go higher tomorrow.

    Note:- As previously stated, a close below 4315 this week and I'd be leaning to more weakness next week :- higher Weekly open and selling down from the monthly 50% level



    This will align with Wednesday's 'gap' close (possibly tomorrow) and then look for any 'selling' patterns next week.

  • DOW S&P Daily 5th Nov 2008 recap



    DOW Weekly and 5-day pattern


    Any up trend this week was dependant on the daily support holding and continuing towards Wednesday's highs.

    Once the support levels didn't hold, prices dropped back to the lower levels in the 5-day pattern

    SPI 5th November 2008 recap

    Today's higher open completes the rotation back into the Monthly 50% levels.

    I have modelled another down move into November's lows, but at this stage any down move won't occur until after the end of this Week's trading. Basically any down trend would need to have a Friday close below the Monthly 50% levels and then continue down from a higher Weekly open the following Week.


    However, it won't surprise me to see the SPI push back towards it's 3-week highs, which matches the October low breakout.

    Today:- 5-day high resistance and expectation of a gap fill on the downside, using either 4360 or 4329.

    4263 is random support.

    At this stage the SPI hasn't come back and re-tested the 5-day 50% levels this week, and probably won't today.

    Premium Report


    SPI Monthly and 5-day pattern

    Early sell down from 4329, but didn't reach 4263...

    As mentioned in the Daily report, I wasn't expecting any further weakness on Wednesday, and if US markets continue higher on Wednesday, as they look like they will the SPI will continue following the 5-day pattern higher:- 4484

  • DOW S&P Daily 4th November 2008 Recap

    "Higher Weekly open and looking for a 2-day pullback-stall.

    Break of support on Monday and expectation of a 2-day pull back into next days support or the 5-day 50% level.

    Tuesday's 5-day high random resistance"




    DOW Weekly and 5-day pattern

    Tuesday in US markets continue to move back into the November 50% levels, and could go as high as the Weekly highs this week.

    Ideal pattern of moving down into support and rising higher didn't play out today.

    SPI 4th November 2008 recap

    "As yesterday's recap mentioned:- the rest of this week should be defined by Monday's 5-day high breakout @ 4153.

    A Breakout of a 5-day high range can lead to further gains (especially in bull trends or above Monthly 50% levels)

    A Reversal into the Monthly 50% levels (balance-point) and below 4153, can lead to a slow unwind, with price rotating back into the 5-day 50% levels"

    Premium Report


    SPI Weekly and 5-day pattern

    SPI trading above the Weekly 50% level, and a breakout above Monday's highs @ 4153 pushing the market higher, helped by the Reserve bank cut in % rates after 14:30.

    There was an early push down below 4153 of 44 points, and then a higher move back into the Monthly midpoints late in the day.

    But it makes it difficult to make generalisations about trading either side of a certain levels:- 4153


    SPI spiral filter

    But when price moves from below the filter to above the filter, then the trend should be easily managed, and allows the trader to minimise risk and maximise profit on directional moves.

  • S&P (e-mini) 3rd November 08 recap

    "This is a higher Weekly open, which more often than not will reverse 2-days, and if US markets are going to continue higher then price should rise up from the 5-day 50% levels.

    Last Week I was bullish because of the Weekly hook pattern, which pushes price higher into Friday.

    This week there is a higher Weekly open, so i'm looking for a stalling pattern over 2-days:- therefore trading longs below Yellow daily support is open to Risk"

  • SPI 3rd November 2008 recap

    SPI opening right on the Weekly 50% level @ 4086.

    Is the SPI going to reverse down from this level.... or continue higher on Monday back the Monthly 50% levels?

    I don't know at this stage, but with the Reserve Bank cutting rates tomorrow (probably), the bias is leaning towards pushing higher into Tuesday....


    Premium Report




    SPI Weekly and 5-day pattern

    Last Week US markets 'hooked' above the Weekly 50% level and continued higher into Friday, and today on the SPI was the first confirming pattern of a reversal with a cross over of the Weekly 50% level @ 4086.

    Today's rally has gone straight into the monthly balance point @ 4215 and stalled.

    This levels becomes a critical level in any trend guide for November, but with today's breakout of the 5-day high, this often sees higher prices in the coming days.


    At this stage price looks like it will continue towards 4315...

    However the first sign of weakness will be price trading back below the Weekly 50% level, and then below the 5-day 50%.

    The rest of this week should be defined by Monday's high @ 4153

    And this will depend largely on US markets....
